“You–” Wang Shi’s eyes widened, and she cried out after a while: “I think you are crazy! Someone like Pan Susu has fascinated you so much that you have gone to great lengths to build a greenhouse. Look at what you have done to her. What a look! Now you don’t even listen to my words, do you still care about me as your mother? No, you can’t go on like this, you have to marry another one. The incense of our Huo family cannot be broken from her!”
Huo Changyao frowned slightly, “I want to build the greenhouse, why bother with Xiao Qi? You don’t need to mention the children anymore, I won’t agree. If you want grandchildren, I will adopt two after the New Year.”
Wang Shi said angrily: “What kind of grandson of the Huo family is the adopted person?”
Huo Changyao said, “Then you can wait for a few years. When the Old Second gets married, his child will also be the grandson of the Huo family.”
“That’s the grandson of that woman Liu Piaopiao. What does it have to do with our Huo family? Changyao, you are trying to force your mother to death. You and your bastard father have the same virtues. For the sake of a woman, you will give up your face!” Wang Shi was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet.
Huo Changyao lowered his eyes and let her scold him for a while, and finally, he said: “These things have nothing to do with Xiao Qi. It was you who asked her to give me joy at the beginning. In the end, she is the victim. I hope Mother will not vent her anger on her again. I’ll come see you another day.”
Wang Shi smashed the teacup on him, “Get out, get out!”
Huo Mansion has already attracted people’s attention, and there has been such a big commotion recently. Many people are discussing it privately. Huo Changlin also heard about it and took a break to find Huo Changyao.
“Did something happen at home in the past two days?” He asked politely.
Huo Changyao said, “Old Second, when you get married and have children in the future, let me adopt one of them, just put my name on it.”
Huo Changlin was taken aback and tentatively said: “Big Brother, you and Xiao Qi are still young, why do you suddenly say this?”
“Mother…” Huo Changyao frowned and said about Wang Shi’s recent actions.
“Eh?” Huo Changlin was confused when he heard this, and he said: “Big Brother, don’t you like Xiao Qi? Why don’t you have a child with her? In this way, Old Madam will have nothing to say, and she won’t be able to make trouble even if she wants to.”
“Who said I like Xiao Qi?” Huo Changyao felt uncomfortable.
Huo Changlin looked at his face and smiled mischievously: “Big Brother made it so obvious. Big Brother, I’m not blind. I can tell it just by looking at it.”
Huo Changyao hummed as if nothing had happened and said: “I have a little mind about Xiao Qi that I shouldn’t have, but Xiao Qi always treats me as her elder brother. How can I bully her?”
“How did Big Brother know that Xiao Qi only regards you as an elder brother? Have you ever asked her?” Huo Changlin asked.
“How can I ask about this kind of thing? If Xiao Qi had no intention of me, but after I asked, she agreed because she didn’t dare to refuse. How is this different from forcing her?”
Huo Changlin was filled with emotion when he heard this. On the one hand, he felt that his eldest brother was too upright and pedantic, but on the other hand, he could not help but admire him.
If he hadn’t been upright, how could he take such good care of his younger brother, who was born by a concubine? The fact that his textile factory was so easy to run, wasn’t it because others regarded him as Marshal Huo’s younger brother? Without Huo Changyao, what would he, Huo Changlin, be?
However, he felt that Xiao Qi was not interested in Big Brother at all. But if Big Brother did not say anything, he could not let a girl take the initiative to express her feelings, right?
Huo Changlin could not help but suggest: “I don’t mean you to ask directly. Sometimes you can give a little hint in your words. Big Brother, don’t always think that is too frivolous. If you don’t be more frivolous, how can you embrace beauty?”
“You are also Xiao Qi’s elder brother, how could you say this?” Huo Changyao asked.
Huo Changlin saw that he did not agree with his words, but his expression was a bit thoughtful, so he knew that he had heard what he said. He could not help but jokingly said: “How can I still dare to be her elder brother? Don’t I have to call her Big Sister-in-law now?”
“No big or small.” Huo Changyao shook his head.
They don’t know what Wang Shi thinks now. In the past few days, fewer young girls have come to visit the mansion.
The weather was just right. Jiang Rui was immersed in her winter vacation papers in the greenhouse. Nanny Li came up and said to her that a young lady, called Miss Zhao, was looking for her.
“Miss Zhao?” Jiang Rui turned over in her mind, but she had no impression.
Nanny Li reminded her: “She is the Old Madam’s grandniece.”
Jiang Rui rolled her eyes: “Is this the little brat’s sister a few days ago, this Miss Zhao who said she wanted to be Big Brother’s concubine?”
“It’s her, but this matter was spread by the Zhao family themselves. Our Marshal has no intention of doing that.” Nanny Li quickly added.
Jiang Rui stood up and walked out: “Let’s go and meet her.”
Nanny Li looked helpless. When other people’s wives saw someone who coveted her husband coming, they would only be on guard, unlike their Madam who was so interested as if she were watching a show.
In the living room of Huo Mansion, Zhao Zhenzhu was sitting on the sofa properly.
The servant gave her tea and then retired. She was neither indifferent nor enthusiastic. She looked well-behaved, but she also showed the reserve of a big family in her bones.
Zhao Zhenzhu lowered her eyes and looked at the steaming tea cup in front of her. She had always known that the Zhao family and the Huo family could not be compared, but only after seeing them in person did she realize how big the gap was.
